important to remember that we we talk about the BBC’s right-wing bias we mean in the way they chose what to report on and how they frame those issues, and when the right talks about the BBC’s left-wing bias they mean that sometimes the person who reads out the news is black

The biggest problem with rebooting Bond is that Bond has always kind of represented an old fashioned British cool, always stylish, the brands he uses meticulously chosen. He might have been an arsehole but he was always the coolest guy in the room.

Of course the real new bond film should be a young, cool James Bond.
Plus a grim, hardcore James Bond.
Plus a black James Bond in a metal suit.
And a Cyborg James Bond.

The way to get around the James Bond is dead problem is just to make really good James Bond film and don't mention it and no one will actually care because the film is so good.

It's important to keep pointing this out about the many people who have gone the same way. Too often we suggest or imply that the trans moral panic merely allowed these people to be who they always were. Not true. We're seeing a process of *radicalisation*. We can't fix things unless we name them.
Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:
Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.
Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.
Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

Suzanne Moore, who would rather be locked up than pay her BBC licence fee because the BBC is too nice to trans people for her liking.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

She felt within her rights to use the women's changing room on account of the fact that it was within her rights and also, as the article admits, following NHS policy. But it's so cool that British state media is going full Ministry of Truth to pretend the last 20 years never happened

Just saw a job advert describe the company as having "massive upside potential", in what I'm pretty sure is a direct lift from Wolf of Wall Street.

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict
But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat
And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

‘History won’t forgive us’ if UK falls behind in quantum computing race, says Tony Blair
Exclusive: Former PM and ex-Tory leader William Hague warn UK lacks high-risk capital and infrastructure to harness benefits of powerful technology
Tony Blair has said “history won’t forgive us” if the UK falls behind in the race to harness quantum computing, a frontier technology predicted to trigger the next wave of breakthroughs in everything from drug design to climate modelling.
The former British Labour prime minister, whose thinktank and consultancy, the Tony Blair Institute, is backed by tech industry leaders including the Oracle founder, Larry Ellison, warned: “The country risks failing to convert its leadership in quantum research.” Continue reading...

This is absolutely right. It’s about creating a permission structure for violence, whether that violence is conducted by the state directly or simply permitted by the state.
The claim that "civil war is inevitable in the UK" is better understood as an expression of the author's desire to see blood spilt on British streets.
